I kid you not when I say I read this book in 24 hours!!

Homework
There are breadcrumbs scattered across the page. The faint marks from my childish error’s softly pressed away. The steam from the potatoes cooking behind me has left a hazy art piece against the co…

I’m now at the stage of parenthood where I am waving my son goodbye as he goes off on his first adventure.

An adventure I know will make up his mind if Ireland is to be his home or somewhere further away.

Airport goodbye
It may be only for just over a week. But still I can feel a tickle of little tears as they greet my eyes. The first airport goodbye. Yet it feels like only a minute since I felt your first kick, he…

In that flitting #moment my whole world was irrevocably altered.

You quietly existed.

You silently departed.

I am forever changed.

When I struggle with what I see & hear, I write. It is how I try to make sense of a world that seems to be falling deeper into a cycle of pain & suffering. Sometimes there is no sense to be made of it

Feeling so thankful this evening…

Looks like, with what might be a tiny bit of mum guilt, I will be heading off for 5 days to listen & learn about all things writing, publishing, poetry & prose!

Recently finished The Nurse by Claire Allan - definitely recommend

A gritty page turner that made space for heartfelt emotions.

Claire has a delicate approach to discussions on incel culture & misogyny by exposing the internal thoughts of those who buy into it

#BookReview #blueskybooks #amreading
A Kindle with the Front Cover of The Nurse by Claire Allan on display. The cover depicts the back of a lady walking down a street. The title and authors name are on the front. The kindle is sitting on multicoloured patterned material. An image with the blurb of The Nurse by Claire Allan. It reads “Someone is watching her. She just doesn’t know it yet. Nell Sweeney has led an ordinary life. Every day she walks to and from the hospital where she works as a nurse, believing that no harm can befall her. Until one day she is taken. Because someone out there has a secret. Someone out there has been watching Nell – and they’ve been watching others like her too. Nell is the unlucky one – she was in the wrong place at the wrong time. And if she isn’t found soon, someone will make sure that she isn’t the last woman to disappear…”

Good morning 👋🏼

I am an aspiring writer from Ireland, excited to join the Bluesky community ✍🏼

Life is busy, days & nights out are few & far between so reading & writing tends to be how I escape from the everyday!

Looking forward to connecting with fellow creatives 😊
